Is this genre just a meme or do people genuinely like it?

it's fun imo. just relax and vibe to the tunes

why do you care about other people's taste, user?

It's both

Because I want to try to understand it better.

Somebody link me a track that's vaporwave that they think is genuinely good.

It's a meme, and it started as a meme, but it's also pretty decent chill background music.

Made using turntables. Live vaporwave!

420 is genuinely good imo

I genuinely find that album aggravating for some reason. It's like they were trying to do plunderphonics but just didn't do it very well.

It got hijacked by 16 year olds who think spacey text and Japanese characters are just the funniest fucking things on earth

They aren't?

don't worry they are

So basically, reddit

This is probably my favorite vaporwave album.

people ruined a genre with potential by pushing it as a meme

Both.

Really though, did it actually have potential? It's kind of meme by design

Does it matter?

>genre is literally slowed down disco loops
>every artist has the same windows/japanese characters/indoor plants aesthetic

potential you say?

Who are you quoting?

I don't know where it could have gone. Maybe transferring the aesthetic to other parts of Asia or other time periods? It's a pretty limited gimmick.

No, simply exploring the concept deeper. Japan and/or 80s and/or computers is actually an extremely broad concept.
